NativeBase VS react-native-ui-kitten

Gluestack, like any other customizable UI library, is built to make styling less cumbersome. It comprises a set of themed and unstyled components easily integrated across different platforms and devices. Originally, Gluestack was a part of NativeBase, a component library for both React and React Native. With performance and maintainability in mind, NativeBase was split into two parts, focusing on a universal CSS-in-JS library and an independent set of unstyled components. Gluestack has several advantages, some of which are:

Native-base

Just like the other libraries mentioned in this article, Gluestack is another unstyled component library. Originally a part of NativeBase, the developer team created this library to prevent bloat and enhance maintainability of the project.

KumaUI : Another relatively new contender, Kuma uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS to create headless UI components which allows a lot of flexibility. It was heavily inspired by other zero runtime CSS-in-JS solutions such as PandaCSS, Vanilla Extract, and Linaria, as well as by Styled System, ChakraUI, and Native Base. ### Vue

NativeBase is being abandoned unfortunately , I wouldn’t start a new project with it https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase/issues/4302

Some that also come up are: * https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten * https://github.com/draftbit/react-native-jigsaw/tree/master/packages/ui * https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper * https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase * https://github.com/react-native-elements/react-native-elements

https://akveo.github.io/react-native-ui-kitten/ is a good alternative, i especially like their demo app, I can just refer a client to that and ask them what screens they like.

I found this issue: https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten/issues/1704

React Native UI Kitten is a React Native implementation of the Eva Design system. It offers a set of general-purpose UI components styled in the same way to take care of visual appearance. There are a lot of standalone components available as well.

UI Kitten: UI Kitten is a React Native framework for creating stunning cross-platform mobile applications. It is based on Eva Design System and provides a set of general purpose UI components styled in a similar way.

Most RN UI libraries do not support responsive design by default. If you require font sizes to vary based on screen sizes or even user's font settings to accommodate native mobile accessibility settings or RN-web, you might end requiring to customize a lot of stuff to the point that you shouldn't use a UI library at all. Here's a deeper dive on this in the context of UI kitten, if you are keen.
